Elevator Accidents

Pennsylvania Elevator Accident Lawyers

With over half a million elevators in America and over 100 billion people riding on elevators annually, passenger safety is a critical concern for manufacturers and building owners. Unfortunately, people suffer serious injury or death in elevator accidents every day due to equipment defects and inadequate elevator maintenance.

At Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman, home of MyPhillyLawyer, we represent people and workers injured or killed because of dangerous property conditions, including escalator and elevator accidents. Contact our skilled personal injury attorneys to discuss your legal options that can significantly affect the type of damages you recover in your premises liability claim.

Experienced in Elevator Injury Cases

The personal injury lawyers at Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman will launch a thorough investigation into your elevator accident case, uncovering common causes such as:

  • Elevators stuck between floors
  • Misalignment causing trip and falls
  • Sudden speed-ups or slow-downs
  • People or clothing caught in closing doors
  • Doors opening to an empty shaft
  • Plummets down elevator shaft
  • Elevator accidents at construction sites

Building owners are responsible for ensuring elevators are properly inspected and maintained according to established laws. We address issues such as building code violations regarding safety or maintenance in a case, as well as possible third party claims against elevator makers for faulty design or manufacturing.

Call Silvers, Langsam & Weitzman Toll Free at 866-920-0352.
